Aliens' rain in India ?!

It may sound strange to hear, but the first scientific acknowledgement of extraterrestrials may not come from a UFO landing on the White House lawn -- instead it seems likely that it may come from studying a blood-red rain that fell over India during the summer of 2001. The case is continuing to become stronger that the red-tinged rain may have contained alien microbes. Scientists at the Mahatma Gandhi University in India have isolated strange, thick-walled, red-tinted cell-like structures about 10 microns in size. Stranger still, dozens of experiments suggest that the particles may lack DNA yet still reproduce plentifully, even in water superheated to nearly 600˚F. (The known upper limit for life in water is about 250˚F.) The scientists believe these may be extraterrestrial microbes that hitched a ride on a comet or meteorite that later broke apart in the upper atmosphere and mixed with rain clouds above India. If the theory proves correct, the cells would be the first confirmed evidence of alien life and, as such, could yield tantalizing new clues to the origins of life on Earth.
